Free support offers for Berlin companies
Small and medium-sized companies can find answers to their digitization questions together with the Digital Agency Berlin (DAB). Funded by the state of Berlin, the DAB acts as a central coordination point for digitalization in the capital. With a comprehensive and free offer relating to digital transformation, the DAB team of experts creates, among other things, access to suitable technologies and financing options. Regardless of how far companies are with digitalization, DAB supports both the first steps and projects that have already been implemented, for example when it comes to the status of their own IT security.
Understanding digitalization: DAB orientation discussions
Especially at the beginning of digital transformation, companies are often overwhelmed – or even overwhelmed – by the multitude of options. With the DAB orientation discussions you will find out where it is best to start.
In personal discussions, individual potential and problems are identified and concrete recommendations for action are derived. From information about funding programs to tips for introducing new digital tools, companies receive exactly the support they need. The Berlin digital agency also brings companies together with suitable network partners with whom they can specifically address specific challenges.
If companies have already successfully implemented the first digitization measures, the DAB orientation discussions also help with in-depth topics – be it the optimal use of social media to increase online visibility or the application of artificial intelligence to accelerate processes. In addition, DAB answers questions about data protection and IT security.
Safe through digitalization: DAB cyber hotline
Speaking of IT security – digital solutions offer many opportunities, but also risks. Small and medium-sized companies in particular are becoming the target of cyber attacks.2 If not enough precautions have been taken and there is a lack of the necessary resources and know-how to react in an emergency, the consequences can be serious. This includes data loss, business interruptions as well as financial losses and reputational damage to customers or partners.
The free DAB cyber hotline provides quick help with cybercrime. In the event of acute IT emergencies, Berlin companies can receive immediate support from IT first aiders on 0800 360 30 60 from Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. If necessary, contact with specialized IT security service providers will be arranged for further investigations. Questions about prevention are also answered in order to prevent cyber attacks.
